TECNUN, the Engineering School of the University of Navarra, through the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Department, seeks to fill a tenured professor position as part of its academic staff in the field of Mechanical Analysis and Design, to begin in September 2026.
As a member of the academic staff, the candidate will contribute to the University of Navarra’s three core tasks: research, education and management. Thus, his/her role will consist primarily of basic and applied research (50%), lecturing (40%), and services and management (10%).

Profile
Candidates will be expected to hold a relevant doctoral level research degree, and a distinguished academic record including international research, demonstrating appropriate markers of academic recognition. Specifically for this position is required:
• A PhD in Mechanical Engineering in the field of analysis and design of machine components and mechanisms.
• An international academic portfolio and skills to conduct high-quality academic research and teaching.
• Candidates will be expected to show the capacity to publish excellent papers in highly indexed journals as well as the capacity to find research funding opportunities, write research project proposals, and lead and develop research projects.
• Knowledge and interest in identity and core values of the University of Navarra.

Research

The Machines and Vehicles Research Group at Tecnun is a multidisciplinary team with an extensive experience in analysis and design of machines and mechanisms, both by experimental methods and analytical and numerical calculation, including the dynamics aspects like vibration transmission and fatigue tests. Some of the current research activities are:
• Analysis and design of the components of transmission systems for off-road vehicles.
• Study of fatigue and aging phenomena in mechanical components.
• Static and dynamic characterization of machine components.
• Calculation and optimization using numerical methods (FEM).
• Noise and vibration transmission.
• Design and construction of test benches.
Candidates will have the opportunity to develop his/her own research in a closed relationship with other members of the group, other faculties or research institutions at the university related to the above-mentioned areas.

Specifically, candidate should be able to:
• Initiate new lines of research and coordinate the progress of scientific research projects. He/she will also participate in ongoing research programs.
• Acquire and manage national and international research funding.
• Publish in top-ranked international journals.
• Develop an international scientific network.
• Supervise PhD students.
